Round 2.

vs. All I have to say is "Go, Habs, Go!" Habs in 6.

vs. I'm really hoping for a Montreal/Pittsburg Eastern Final. That said, I don't think it will be as easy as some had hoped. This one's going to 7.

vs. As much as it pains me to say it, we're looking at Detroit, folks, but I have to give the Avalanche credit after that last run. They're going to put up a fight. Detroit in 6.

vs. This one is just a no win situation for me. As an Edmonton fan, I still harbor resentment towards the Stars. I probably always will. It's tough to even think of them going any further but they rallied hard in that last series. The Sharks, however, only made it into round 2 by the skin of their teeth...which, in case you're wondering, isn't much. I'm going to go on a limb, banking on them playing even a little bit like they did in Game 7 and say Sharks in 6.

So there you have it. I don't see any of these series being quick and painless. It's the playoffs after all.

I did fairly well with my picks for last round so I thought that this time I should go ahead and post my predictions here instead of someone else's blog! Here we go....
